January 22, 2015: Winter surf and high tide resulted in messy saltwater inundation and beach erosion at the Fairmont Orchid, Mauna Lani.
Winter surf is a problem every year, but this is the worst hit we've seen on this stretch of shoreline since we opened this hotel for Ritz-Carlton 26 years ago - even worse than the tsunami that shuttered Kona Village in March, 2011. The difference was wrap-around wave action: this was a direct straight-on hit and the ever-rising high tide. We simply cannot deny climate change - it is very real, and shoreline developers best take heed.

Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is at a distance of about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy. The galaxy's low surface brightness makes it the most difficult Messier object for amateur astronomers to observe. However, the relatively large angular size of the galaxy and the galaxy's face-on orientation make it an ideal object for professional astronomers who want to study spiral arm structure and spiral density waves. It is estimated that M74 is home to about 100 billion stars.

Messier 2 or M2 (also designated NGC 7089) is a globular cluster in the constellation Aquarius, five degrees north of the star Beta Aquarii. It was discovered by Jean-Dominique Maraldi in 1746, and is one of the largest known globular clusters.
M2 was discovered by the French astronomer Jean-Dominique Maraldi in 1746 while observing a comet with Jacques Cassini. Charles Messier rediscovered it in 1760, but thought it a nebula without any stars associated with it. William Herschel, in 1783, was the first to resolve individual stars in the cluster.
M2 is about 37,500 light-years distant from Earth. At 175 light-years in diameter, it is one of the larger globular clusters known. The cluster is rich, compact, and significantly elliptical. It is 13 billion years old and one of the older globulars associated with the Milky Way Galaxy.
With the Moon out it's harder to image faint fuzzy stuff, so I figured that M92 would make a decent target, given that it's made of point sources and thus can better burrow its way through the Moon's sky wash. In addition it was well-placed in my sky and it is a spectacular object. It's often overlooked because it's so close to M13, which tends to steal the show.
After a week of experimentation I'm starting to get the hang of using ImagesPlus, which was used to create this image from 25 15-second subframes.

Messier 21 (M21, NGC 6531) is an open cluster which shows quite a strong concentration toward its center. Therefore, it is classified by Woldemar Götz as of Trumpler class I 3 r (strong concentration to the center, large range in brightness, i.e. bright and faint stars, and richly populated), while Trumpler, according to Kenneth Glyn Jones, classified it I 3 p (i.e., poor, or under 50 stars).
According to Burnham, S.N. Svolopoulos, in 1953, has demonstrated the membership of 57 stars (making it Trumpler type I 3 m), the brightest of which are giants of spectral type B0. This implies that this cluster is very young: the Sky Catalog 2000 gives an estimated 4.6 million years, and states that this cluster is part of the Sagittarius OB1 stellar association.
As it is situated close to the Trifid Nebula M20 (the outlayers of which show up in our image at the upper left edge), many images showing the Lagoon-Trifid region do also show M21, e.g. the bigger DSSM image of this region.
The distance of this cluster is discordantly given by the sources: Mallas/Kreimer give 3,000 light years, Burnham 2,200, while Kenneth Glyn Jones and the Sky Catalog 2000 have 4,250 light years. It is interesting that all sources have different distances for the Trifid Nebula M20, but discord which is closer to us, the cluster M21 or the Trifid nebula.
Open cluster M21 was discovered by Charles Messier, who cataloged it on June 5, 1764.

A night of perfect hardware operation which was unfortunately plagued with cloud cover, a failed meridian flip (leading to a lost hour), and then dew on the secondary so only 60 minutes of good exposures. Tried stacking with some subs from a session 2 years ago but the poor framing led to issues.

Teen rooms are often messy because teens are busy with more important things than cleaning, like studying, socializing, gaming, or sleeping. Teens also have a different definition of messiness than their parents. What may look like a chaotic pile of clothes, books, and gadgets to an adult is actually a carefully organized system of personal belongings that only the teen can understand. Teens also like to express their individuality and creativity by decorating their rooms with posters, stickers, and other accessories that may not match the rest of the house. Therefore, teen rooms are often messy because they reflect the teen's personality, lifestyle, and preferences.
